Find your treatment options

Choosing water treatment starts with your goals

What would you like to change about your water? Whether you’re seeing scale, noticing an unpleasant taste or wondering about a test result, we’ll start with your concerns and any equipment you already have. Your water source also helps us narrow down the right water treatment options. A basic hardness check is not a comprehensive safety test; some concerns need a certified laboratory and specific sampling methods.

The CDC recommends selecting treatment for the substances you actually need to address. Appearance and taste alone cannot establish water safety. Review your utility’s water-quality report and verify the selected product’s specific reduction claims.

Whole-house carbon filter, resin water softener with brine tank, and under-sink filter with drinking-water faucet. — From left: whole-house carbon filtration, a salt-based water softener, and point-of-use filtration. Filters address specific substances; softeners address hardness. The right choice starts with your water and what you want to improve.

Water softeners

A water softener treats hardness minerals that contribute to scale. We help you choose equipment for your household water use, installation space and maintenance needs. Softening and filtration do different jobs: a softener does not remove every contaminant. Read our water-softener installation and service guide for installation details, pricing and warranty information.

Clack WS1 Water Softener System: starting at $2,450 installed.

Includes a 9 x 48-inch mineral tank with 1 cu. ft. of resin, separate brine cabinet, control head, supplied salt, installation to accessible existing piping, programming, startup and testing. Sizing depends on your water and usage. See system features, installation requirements and warranty details.

Whole-house filtration

Want filtration beyond a single drinking-water faucet? Whole-house water treatment filters water as it enters your home. We’ll help you compare what each filter is designed to reduce, whether it suits your household’s water use and what ongoing maintenance will involve. The filter media and selected model determine its capabilities.

A sediment cartridge captures particles according to its rating; a carbon-block cartridge targets specific substances, such as chlorine that affects taste and odor, according to its specifications. Neither replaces a water softener or removes every contaminant. Cartridge design, capacity and replacement needs vary by model.

Sediment canister filter

Starting at $1,050 installed.

Includes a heavy-duty 4 x 10-inch housing and one compatible sediment cartridge on the main water supply, materials, installation labor, accessible mounting, connections, startup flushing, and operation and leak checks. The selected cartridge captures sediment such as dirt, sand and rust particles according to its rating; this is not the same as carbon filtration or softening.

Carbon-block canister filter

Starting at $1,095 installed.

Includes a heavy-duty 4 x 10-inch housing and one compatible carbon-block cartridge, materials, installation labor, mounting with cartridge-change access, connections, flushing, startup, and operation and leak checks. Chlorine taste and odor reduction depends on the selected cartridge specifications.

20-inch canister options

20-inch sediment and carbon-block canister options are also available.

The starting prices above are for the 4 x 10-inch systems; larger 4 x 20-inch options are quoted separately. These canister prices are not larger tank-system package prices. Housing and cartridge selection must match the existing plumbing, pressure and flow needs. Extra work and final suitability are reviewed before approval. Supplied materials and installation carry two-year residential or one-year commercial coverage; existing plumbing, fixtures, valves and customer-supplied items are excluded. Manufacturer terms are separate.

Clack 9 x 48-inch whole-home carbon filter

Starting at $2,350 installed.

The Clack WS1 carbon filtration system includes a 9 x 48-inch mineral tank with 1 cu. ft. of catalytic carbon, control valve, digital control head with battery backup, bypass valve and protective tank cover. Materials, installation labor, standard plumbing connections, programming, startup and an operation check are included. It is designed to help reduce chlorine and associated taste and odor; suitability and results depend on water conditions and system selection. This is a carbon filter, not a water softener.

Twin-Tank System: softener and filter installed together

Clack WS1 Twin-Tank System: starting at $4,295 installed.

Want help with both hard-water buildup and chlorine taste or odor? This package combines a water softener to reduce hardness with a separate catalytic-carbon filter to help reduce chlorine and associated taste and odor. Each tank measures 9 x 48 inches and contains 1 cu. ft. of its respective treatment media. In this package, Twin-Tank means one softener plus one filter, not two alternating softener tanks.

Includes a separate 14 x 14 x 36-inch brine cabinet, Clack WS1 control heads with battery backup, protective tank covers, gravel support bed, 150 lb. of salt, materials and installation labor. We connect to accessible existing piping, program and start the system, and check operation and leaks. Salt is added to available capacity and any remaining supplied salt is left with you. System sizing depends on your water quality and expected use.

The paired system requires a properly installed GFCI-protected outlet with a weatherproof cover within 10 ft. of the installation. Arrange a licensed electrician if needed; temporary power and extension cords are not suitable. Both the standalone Clack filter and paired package carry two-year residential or one-year commercial coverage on supplied equipment and installation; existing components and customer-supplied items are excluded. Manufacturer terms are separate. Extra work is reviewed in the estimate before approval.

UV water treatment systems are also available

Ask Gulfview about UV options, including Viqua systems, when disinfection is part of your water-treatment needs. Ultraviolet light is used to disinfect water or reduce germs; it does not replace softening or chemical-removal treatment. Pre-filtration matters: the CDC explains that UV systems work better with pre-filtration. Selection should follow your water-test results and the specific model’s treatment claims, not appearance or taste alone.

VIQUA ultraviolet water treatment chamber with Gulfview service label — Have a stainless-steel chamber like this beside your water filter? It houses the UV lamp. We can help you identify the model and check when the lamp is due for service.

VIQUA VH410 whole-home UV system furnished and installed: starting at $1,850. Includes the stainless-steel chamber, UV lamp, quartz sleeve, controller, mounting hardware and installation labor, connection at the agreed location, leak and controller checks, and a routine-maintenance walkthrough.

The selected system must suit your incoming water quality, required treatment flow and pretreatment needs. Additional pretreatment or electrical work is reviewed and priced separately before proceeding. Follow the manufacturer’s lamp-replacement and sleeve-care instructions. UV is not included in the Clack or canister starting prices above. Schedule a water treatment assessment.

Drinking-water filtration: Everpure and reverse osmosis

Considering a dedicated drinking-water faucet? Gulfview installs and maintains reverse-osmosis systems, including their filters and membranes. We review the space and connections at your sink and help you compare the specific system’s certified reduction claims. Capabilities vary by model.

Everpure options for everyday drinking water

Want better-tasting water for your glass, coffee and cooking without a storage tank under the sink? Everpure filtration is another option to discuss alongside R/O. We will help you compare the selected systems’ capabilities, cabinet space and maintenance needs around what you want to improve.

Everpure drinking-water filtration starts at $1,050. This includes the filter system and standard installation connected to your designated drinking-water dispenser. A new dispenser costs extra if needed, and any new countertop opening must be prepared by others.

Prefer to keep using your existing faucet? Everpure filtration through a compatible kitchen, bar or prep faucet starts at $1,350. It connects to the cold-water side and includes the filter system, standard installation and startup checks. We confirm faucet compatibility and space before you choose. Compare the drinking-water options and schedule service.

Reverse-osmosis starting prices

Four-stage RO system with chrome dispenser faucet: starting at $1,395. Includes Gulfview-furnished equipment, standard tubing and fittings, installation labor, water and drain connections, startup, and operational and leak testing at the designated sink. Alkaline filtration, five-stage configurations, and specialty upgrades are additional when selected.

Compatible four-stage filter and membrane replacement: starting at $495. Includes a sediment prefilter, carbon prefilter, RO membrane, and final polishing filter, with replacement materials and labor, removal of old elements, accessible connection inspection, flushing, startup, and operation and leak checks.

RO sanitization with filter service: starting at $325, in addition to the filter or membrane replacement service. Includes cleaning and sanitizing accessible system components, sanitation materials and labor, flushing, and operation and leak checks. Replacement filters and membrane are a separate service, not included in the sanitization price.

Starting prices apply to the defined service scopes. Equipment compatibility, access, existing plumbing, and any extra work must be reviewed before the estimate is confirmed. Ask about your RO system or installation; send the model information when discussing service.

Water treatment service for equipment you already own

Has your water changed, or is your equipment overdue for care? We can help with softener diagnosis, replacement filters, whole-home water treatment maintenance, and reverse-osmosis service and sanitization. When testing is needed, we’ll discuss the type that fits your concern.

We work with equipment including Clack WS1, Viqua UV, Everpure and Nuvo H2O. Send us your model information and service history so we can discuss the maintenance or repairs appropriate for your system.

Keep your water treatment system maintained

Keep up with the care your system needs, from replacement filters and salt to media changes and sanitization. We can discuss maintenance costs and service access alongside installation options. If your current system is overdue for service, maintenance may be the next step rather than a full replacement.

Water treatment costs and coverage

The estimate depends on diagnosis, household demand, equipment, existing plumbing, access, materials, and applicable permit or code requirements. We discuss the proposed scope before you decide how to proceed. GreenSky financing may be available for qualifying projects, subject to credit approval and applicable terms.

Qualifying materials furnished by Gulfview carry a two-year residential parts and labor warranty. A one-year commercial warranty applies where applicable. Customer-supplied materials are excluded, and drain cleaning does not carry a warranty. Ask which terms apply to the work in your estimate.

Do I need both a softener and a filter?

Not necessarily. A water softener addresses hardness, while a filter targets specific substances according to its design. If you’re concerned about both scale and chlorine taste or odor, a combination may be worth considering. We’ll review your water information and goals before recommending equipment.

Can one water treatment system remove everything?

No single approach addresses every water concern. We’ll help you compare the selected model’s documented capabilities and the care it needs, so you know what your water treatment system is designed to do before you choose it.

Can you install a water treatment system I’ve purchased?

Yes. Send us the make, model and installation instructions before scheduling, along with a photo of the planned location. We’ll review the connections, space and any additional work needed, then explain the installation estimate. Customer-supplied equipment is not covered by Gulfview’s materials warranty; ask about installation workmanship and the manufacturer’s product coverage separately.

Can you service my current RO system?

Yes, we service reverse-osmosis equipment. Have the make and model handy when you call, along with its approximate age and last filter or sanitization service. Those details help us discuss the next step and check which replacement parts your system needs.
